    Using Sitemap to submit to other search engines

    Is it possible to set up sitemap generator to submit sitemaps to other search engines in the same way that sitemap generator 2.6 submits sitemaps to google, yahoo, bing etc?? If it is possible would there be a limit to the amount of submissions it could handle??

    Sure, you can submit it to where ever you like.

    You will need to look up the search service and see what their 'ping' url is, and then add it into the sitemap ping section in vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_sitemap_functions.php

    find:
    function vbseo_sitemap_ping_url($url)


    in there you will see 3-line groupings of the search engine pings:

    Code:
    $purl = 'http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap='.urlencode($url);
            $rping = vbseo_query_http($purl);
            $vbseo_stat['pingask'] = strstr($rping, 'successful');
    You will basically need to change the $purl to the new SE ping location and add a new vbseo_stat array element.

    Note, these won't show up on native reports without further coding, but it should ping automatically.
